First day of our Europe trip! Landed in London around 12pm local after a red eye flight from Chicago. Took the tube to Kensington where we stayed for the first night. Got in a bit early and our room wasn’t ready, so we checked out a local park and found a duck pond by Kensington Palace. . Had some fun walking around looking at the new birds before checking into the hotel and getting ready for dinner. Makenzie made us reservations at a popular Indian restaurant called Dishoom, overall great experience! Had a couple different kinds of naan, lamb samosas and chicken curry. After dinner we went to a different park where we saw a peacock and ran into an older gentleman who seemed to know all the birds in the park by name. Said he has been coming to the park for years and had his own bird with him named Koko. Both were very freindly and Koko climbed on our shoulders for some pictures. Great start to the trip!
